Unfortunately for them, Taiwan rallied. Fu-Hao Liu homered off Changlong Su in the 5th. Kang-Lin Huang and Wu-Hsiung Pan followed with doubles to close the gap to 4-3. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Alvarado allowed one hit and no runs from the 4th through 8th innings for the Uni-President Lions.

Entering the 9th, Tianjin still led the Uni-President Lions 4-3. With one on and two outs in the 9th, rookie Chun-Yu Kuo pinch-hit against Jiangang Lu and singled in Liu with the tying run on a line drive to left field. After another batter reached, Pan hit a 3-run walk-off homer. Pan said “I knew it was going to be a base hit right after I hit it, but I didn’t think it was going to leave the park.” Yi-Cheng Tseng got the win and Lu the loss.

In the 4th, Jin-young Lee singled and DH Jae-won Lee hit a 2-run homer off Hoashi - this time there was no doubt as the ball hit the foul post. Later in that inning, LF Jae-sang Park singled in a 4th run for the Wyverns.

Takumi Kuriyama and Hirao drove in runs in the 5th but SK's pitching then took over and held Seibu to no hits over the final four. Seung-ho Lee got the win with 3 shutout innings of relief. The other relief stars were Kil-hyoun Yun and Woo-ram Jung. They were a stark contrast to starter Kwang-hyun Kim, who had dominated Japanese teams in prior events but failed to make it through the 5th inning. Hoashi took the loss, allowing 4 runs in 3 1/3 IP.

It marked the second time in four Series that a Japanese team lost - and both losses were at the hands of the Wyverns.

The mercy rule came into play as South Korea crushed China in game 3. After two hitless innings, SK came alive in the third with 7 hits, a walk, 3 steals and 7 runs. Joo-hwan Na opened with a double, then C Sang-ho Jung singled him home and the onslaught had begun.

In the 7th, DH Jae-hyun Kim hit a 3-run homer to give him 4 RBI on the day. Eun-beom Song tossed four shutout innings as the SK starter

Tianjin, after a strong first game, was once again clearly outmatched. Seibu got on the board quickly against Wei Chen, scoring twice. China responded against Ming-Chieh Hsu, when Yubin Luo singles in two runs in the bottom of the first. While Hsu was yanked in the third, three relievers helped close out the win without allowing any more runs. Koji Onuma got the win.

In the second, slumping 3B Takeya Nakamura launched a 3-run homer into the upper tier of the left field stands to make it 5-0. That was the last run allowed by Chen but his bullpen was no better. In the third, Seibu scored six times, aided by two Tianjin errors.

The Wyverns took their first loss and it was a critical one as it eliminated them from a chance to win the Series. As they were tied with Seibu and the Uni-President Lions, the tiebreaker of fewest runs allowed decided that the Wyverns would be the one 2-1 team left out of the finale.

The star of the show was RF Fu-Hao Liu, who hit a 3-run homer in the 4th and another 3-run homer in the 8th.

The Series ended with an excellent pitching duel between two of the Lions outfits. Giancarlo Alvarado tossed six shutout innings for the Uni-President Lions, while Seibu's Hideaki Wakui struck out 10 in 6 2/3 IP of scoreless work. Koji Onuma, Tomoki Hoshino and Shinya Okamoto relieved Wakui and gave up nothing, while Taiwan's bullpen yielded nothing in the 7th or 8th.

In the bottom of the 9th, Wei-Lun Pan got the first two batters out and got a full count on Yoshihito Ishii. There was then a controversial call when the umpire said Ishii did not commit on a check swing that would have forced extra innings if it had been a strike. Manager Wen-Sheng Lu employed an outfield shift, moving his center fielder over to right because Tomoaki Sato tended to hit towards right. The ploy backfired as Sato lined one into the gap in left-center, allowing Ishii to score from first on the Series-winning double.
